Immune defects behind common blood diseases in young people
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study looks at how problems with the immune system might be linked to certain blood disorders in people under 25. The goal is to better understand what causes these conditions and find better ways to treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under 25 years old.
- You must have one of these conditions: autoimmune cytopenias (low blood cell counts caused by your immune system), polyclonal lymphoproliferation (too many immune cells that aren't cancer), lymphoma (a blood cancer), or bone marrow failure / myelodysplastic syndrome (bone marrow doesn't work properly).
- Your lymphoma must not be caused by HIV or a previous organ transplant.
- If you have autoimmune cytopenias, they must not have gone away on their own or only after an infection.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form to join the study.

This study collects and stores tumor and blood samples from children and young adults with cancer, blood disorders, or immune conditions. The samples are used to better understand these diseases and could help future treatments.
This study follows adults with autoimmune blood problems like autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and autoimmune/neutropenia to see how diagnosis and care work over time. You may be asked to complete follow-up visits for up to 3 years.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with rare immune system diseases that started in childhood, and from their relatives and healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a biocollection for future research to better understand these diseases.
This study looks at immune cells in people with certain autoimmune diseases or immune deficiencies. The goal is to understand how these cells work, which may help improve future treatments.
This research study investigates problems with immune system cells called phagocytes that help fight infections. Researchers will study patients with suspected immune defects and their blood relatives to better understand these conditions and develop better care.
This study collects blood (and sometimes related samples) to learn how genes and the immune system work in people with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or in family members who may not have it. The goal is to improve understanding of rare immune conditions and help guide future care.
